2022 Audi Q5 PHEV

The 2022 Audi Q5 PHEV falls between two model years with dramatically different federal records. Compared to the 2021 model year—which logged 69 complaints, 8 recalls, 1 investigation, and 1,149 TSBs—the 2024 model shows a stark improvement with only 13 complaints, zero recalls, zero investigations, and 686 TSBs. This steep downward trend in complaints and recalls across the generation suggests increasing refinement of the platform. The 2022 model's available data points are reassuring: zero crash-related complaints, zero fire complaints, and a single complaint attributed to the electrical system. However, because the detailed complaint and recall counts for 2022 specifically are not provided in the year-by-year federal record, the exact position of this model year along the improvement arc cannot be precisely determined. The takeaway: the 2022 model year appears to benefit from the platform's maturation without yet showing the near-zero complaint levels of 2024, making it a reasonable purchase consideration, though buyers should verify whether any applicable recalls from earlier years have been addressed on a specific vehicle.
